Couriers carrying the Resolution of the Georgia Assembly creating a Committee of Correspondence, as well as the initial correspondence from Georgia’s Committee would have been traveling by boat, or horse, or both to Williamsburg. Boston and other American cities. Undoubtedly, other correspondence among the seven Committees of Correspondence were also en route. I am sure one of our future Founding Fathers was writing a letter to another discussing plans for resistance to Parliamentary overreach. If I had dug into the primary sources of the records of the multiple Committees of Correspondence or the letters of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams or our other Founding Fathers, I am sure I would have found something specific dated September 12, 1773 that I could cite here.

However, I have not dug out anything from the multiple secondary sources I consulted that I can cite for today’s post, or for September 13 or 14. If anyone reading my blog is aware of something to mention for these dates, please pass along the reference!
